« on: May 19, 2024, 09:17:34 AM »5 pods in and this team still on pace to win ~100 games. Whoa.
It's incredible given last year. Like part of me still is waiting for the bottom to fall out, but like, they have proven themselves now over 47 games, it's not a small sample size at all.
I am though very curious once this A's series is done what will happen between now and then the next A's series in a month, as the next opponents are all basically .500 or better baseball teams (Padres only one below .500 by a game). It's Detroit, @Minny, SD, @Cleveland, Seattle, Yankees, @Dodgers. If they end up over 500 over that entire span I can't see how they won't be in the playoffs as most of those teams are playoffs contenders themselves.

Jamir Watkins

Don't know any of these people, but based solely on names, I'd go with Wooga.
My initial thoughts as well

Wendover as mentioned is p-good, as is Half as Interesting.
I like Oversimplified a ton, but it's a pretty rare upload (I get it takes a while just patience).
B1M as someone mentioned is pretty good. My gf and I like the Local Project for fun house designs.
LockPickingLawyer is also quirky but like asmr fun, and you do learn a ton about locks/security.
Older one but buzzfeed unsolved is fun to go back and watch some real good ones, same with puppet history on Watcher., and ruining history on buzzfeed.
Also Jay Foreman is pretty good, especially the map men episodes.
Casually explained has slowed down his content but lots of good ones in there.
And yeah, Mr Beat is pretty darn good, also fun given he's a local Kansan.

Yup, it and a the 2:30 CFB 'cats times are my favorite games. Not so early it sucks to get prepped for, not too late where the next day could be not fun. You can eat lunch at basically a normal time, and the game is over and it's dinner time and you can relax a bit.

I like how the first 3 and last 3 are like all feelings and subjective elements of the VAR process, but the middle 3 are legit AF complainst, especially #4.

Yeah, they need one or two more bats to push them over the edge. Still a pretty good team but just not top flight. At least now they get to play a pretty meh A's team and Detroit which while not terrible has not been doing great lately. At least they Royals had sewn up this last pod 5-4.

Kansas State Football / Re: KU football is NOT going through a rough patch. Cheer on our hawk brothers here!
« on: May 14, 2024, 05:32:59 PM »KU/Lawrence would have to do a Stalinist revision of its Bloody Kansas heritage to fit in the SEC. Can see them embracing their Lawrencetucky brand, tho.
In the middle of reading a book about the Border War (1850-1865). Based on the ideology there, KU would have to sell its soul to join the SEC.
Yes, and that's exactly how it would feel to me, and I'd never donate a dollar to the institution.
All of this is hence my opinion mizzou wins the border war if ku were to ever do that. It's almost unfathomable but stranger things have happened.

Kansas State Football / Re: 2024 Season Prediction Thread
« on: May 13, 2024, 12:50:15 PM »Unless it's some weird 4 way tie situation cause of how many teams there are.
Well... It's going to happen, maybe not the Big 12 this season, but it's going to happen and probably somewhere every year until they get rid of the non division play with 80 team conferences. It's mathematically unavoidable.
I know this, hence it's qualification to my previous statement. If it's a tiebreaker crap then we needed to probably win a game we lost and at that point it's more like last year and just sad, not disappointed.

As of right now not making it to the pepper is going to feel like a disappointment. Unless it's some weird 4 way tie situation cause of how many teams there are.

« on: May 08, 2024, 12:30:16 PM »Like I know all this is frustrating and disheartening recently but my god the twitter reaction (and yes i know it's twitter, overreaction is the name of the game) is over the top. It sucks, but where have these bozos been when all the KITN of football recruiting was going on during the second part of the LHCBS part 2. Maybe they are too young to remember.
certain twitter accounts need to be banned from the app. ELON!!
specialteamsu is an embarrassment. I think the kid is still in college. The guys my age, from KU, who he's battling with, are worse. Grown ass men, with kids and a mortgage battling burner accounts on twitter is sad as eff.
He's exactly who I had to mute through all this. My god it's gross

« on: May 07, 2024, 05:37:27 PM »I don’t think she even gets that deep motivation wise. She just has an inexplicable bloodlust.https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1787217568819720258she has an insatiable craving for K9 murder
But not in a "i am a sportswoman and enjoy hunting" but in a "i am having a bad day and love feeling powerful so will kill a defenseless animal that has no chance to run or hide" way
Right, and like digging in on it is even more bizarre. Like even if you did kill a dog, even if potentially for legit reasons, I don't think I'd ever broadcast and put it in a book. FFS their major base was shook by Old Yellers death, and that had a pretty legit reason to put him down. An unruly dog is not terms at all to put them down.

I guess this could go into 3 different threads but given we were talking about it here, I guess it fits.
K-State Athletics is being a bit Tom Petty, here. It's an unnecessary comment, and as Goff explained to Fitz, the bonds were actually federal dollars, so, mostly paid by California, Texas, New York, etc. (I will continue to pretend they are dollars directly out of your Kansan pockets, though.)
Oh for sure. Honestly it's only a matter of time we put out something akin to the Government Motors signs you'd see displayed by some Ford dealerships.
